This data set consists of mosaicked color infrared 2002 aerial photography for the CWPPRA project, Barataria Land Bridge Shoreline Protection Project (BA-27). The data are used as base map data for either land/water analysis and/or habitat change analysis. The imagery also serves as a visual tool for project managers to assist them in land loss or any obvious problems within the project boundary.
